The tea trade of tho United States
with Japan is steadily growing, and
the trans-Pacific and transcontinent-
al lines have proportionately grown
in favor, the combined shipments to
this country and Canada by the latter
routes far exceeded those in volume
via the Suez canal. The increase in
the amount of tea received in this
country the present season Is 1,365,
900 pounds. New York is the object
i've point for the great bulk of Yoko-
hama tea shipments.
Sir John Mcdonald seems to be at
bis wits end on the railroad matter
at Manitoba, thus presenting the un-
usual condition of affairs of being
greatly afraid of railroad connection
with the outside world. One is re-
minded of the ancient city, where ex-
pensiye walls were built to keep the
people in the city, and to prevent
them from going out. Quite differ
snt from the average Boston man of
today, who not only wants railroad
connection with every. other town in
the country, but at least one road ex-
elusively his own that begiLs and
ends in his own city.
All Lou and All Jim are or were
keepers of an opium joint in a two
story house situated in an alley in

The smelling works at Omaha were
started in 1870 with very limited cap
ital and much uncertainty as to ulti
mate success. Today these works
constitute one of the great establish
ments of the country. They draw
ores from Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Ne
vada and Arizona; their product for
1856 was $13,O99,072. and this year
will amonnt to 100000. Last
year they consumed $4,000 tons OF
coke and coal, and turned out S6,51G
ounces of gold, 9,939,072 ounces OF
silver, SO, ,53S, ,165 pounds of lead, and
blue vitriol worth $175,e50 Employ
ing 500 men they disburse in wages
over 100000 year.
Wizards Oregon & Transcontinen-
tai deal is looked upon by local rail-
road authorities as simply an effort
to boom Northern Pacific stock. 1t
is proposed py the Oregon & Trans
continental people, who control a
large block of stock of the Northern
Pacific, to inaugurate q reform
movement" in the company, by which
its chances for revenue making will
be greatly improved. Elijah Smith
is also interesting himself in the deal
and if the party succeeds there will
probably be good demand for shares
in Northern Pacific this fall, The
opposition to the movement is led by
the directors. who do not wish to be
ousted at the coming election.
The enforcement of the coercion
measures of the British Parliament
shows more conelusiyely than by any
argument the oppression and hard
ship produced thereby upon Irish
subjects. Indeed, so great has been
the change in popular opinion in
England that it is getting to be- gen
orally conceded that the Government
mlst be dissolved, and possibly with
Gladstone in the lead; at least in the
recent elections the Gladstone party
Is fast gaining strength. Whatever
the result it shows how far the mat
ter was overioue and now reacts, and
very likely will continue to do so un-
til more liberal laws will be made
than for years.
The Northwestern LuDaberma,a,
published at Chicago. estimates the
timber telt ON the Pacific coast to be
twenty-five miles wide with a gener
al area of 65,00G square miles. Cal
culatlng this area at $4,000 feet per
acre, it is assumed that it contains
about 2,000,000,000,000 feet. worth
about S20,0O0,0O0,O00 when sawed,
S30,0o0,0o0 600 in the San Francisco
market, or when made into goods,
$40. 100000. These figures are
great, but they fall below tho truth.
In Oregon and Washington the tim
Der belt is nearer 100 than 2b miles
wide, while the estimate of $4,000 feet
to the acre is too small. In these
states alone. we have rs much timber
as the Lum6ernldn allows for the
whole Pacific coast.
